Federal law (28 U.S.C. § 455) mandates judges recuse themselves from cases where impartiality could be questioned. Yet, McConnell ruled against Trump’s spending freeze, which aimed to pause federal funds to states—funds that directly benefited Crossroads.
According to USA Spending reports, Crossroads received federal funds through 155 grants over 15 years. In 2023 alone, they received over $10 million from federal sub-awards—all under McConnell’s watch.
AFL has called for swift accountability, stating, “Judge McConnell’s decision forced federal taxpayer dollars to keep flowing into the pockets of state-funded NGOs like Crossroads Rhode Island.”

The scandal has sparked outrage and demands for McConnell’s removal. Critics argue his failure to disclose his nonprofit ties while ruling on the case undermines public trust. AFL insists he must vacate his ruling, recuse himself from similar cases, and face a congressional investigation if he refuses to step down.
As the controversy unfolds, the American public waits to see whether Judge McConnell will be held accountable or if Congress will intervene to restore integrity to the bench.
